Wegovy FlexTouch 2.4 mg is a prescription medication used for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or who are overweight and have at least one weight-related health condition. It contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) analogue, and is administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection.
Semaglutide 3.2 mg/mL
Each pre-filled pen contains 9.6 mg semaglutide in 3 mL solution, delivering four weekly doses of 2.4 mg each.

Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m² (obesity)
BMI ≥27 kg/m² (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity (such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or dyslipidemia)

Each FlexTouch pen contains four doses; use a new disposable needle for each injection
Injection sites: abdomen, thigh, or upper arm; rotate injection sites with each dose
The pen is compatible with NovoFine Plus, NovoFine, or NovoTwist disposable needles up to 8 mm in length
